The Straw House was written by Cao Wenxuan. The novel tells the story of five children, Sang Sang, Touhe, Paper Moon, Xima and Du Xiaokang, growing up in the beautiful Yau Ma Tei in the early 1960s, and records their life experiences in primary school. These stories contain both pain and sadness, as well as happiness and joy, and these experiences are the "catalysts" for their growth and the only way for children to grow up.

The Philosophical Value of The Grass House

The language of life suffering such as death described in Straw House is full of poetic meaning, with a refreshing and euphemistic melancholy of Jiangnan water town, showing a classical poetic beauty. On the contrary, the understanding of life suffering refined from children's perspective can go straight to the truth, and through vivid interpretation of life suffering, we can think about human life.

Straw House provides a successful creation example for other children's literature writers, which not only provides a useful text structure style, but also reveals that in children's literature creation, profound thoughts should not be sacrificed to make the text more acceptable to children. The value of children's literature creation lies in helping children grow up in the process of reading and further deepening their understanding of the times and environment through the profound themes contained in the text.
